Guest guest Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thyme? Never would have thought of it in this type of application. So I went to my herbal data base and this is what I found: Thyme (Thymus spp) Thyme's main medicinal role is in treating coughs (including whooping cough) and clearing congestion. It makes an excellent gargle or mouthwash for sore throats and infected gums. Many pharmaceutical gargles, cough drops, mouthwashes, and vapor rubs contain thyme's constituent thymol, which destroys bacteria, some fungus, and the shingles virus (herpes zoster). Participants in a study who rinse twice daily with Listerine™, containing thymol (with eucalyptol and menthol), found they developed 34% less gum inflammation and new plaque formation. Thyme improves digestion, relaxing smooth muscels. It reduces the prostaglandins responsible for many menstrual cramps. Thyme also helps destroy intestinal parasites (especially hookworms and roundworms). Used externally for infected wounds. Soothing sedative action on nerves. Expectorant, reduces spasms. Induces perspiration to break fever and aid in beginning of colds. Strengthens lungs. Good for headache. Used for uterine problems. Will help bring on delayed or suppressed menstruation. Eases difficult or painful menstruation. Good for stomach weakness and cramps, indigestion, gas, > > Athlete's Foot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 We used to wear rubber boots for sometimes 20 hours a day. Athlete's foot heaven. We just dipped our feet into a small tub of straight apple cider vinegar, shook them off and put on socks and boots. Did not dry them. We kept a lid on the tub and changed the vinegar every few weeks. One dip killed the worst AF and a weekly dip kept it at bay.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Liz, Colloidal silver is a weak antifungal. It will never route out embedded fungus; it will only slow it down. As an experiment, I used colloidal silver to try to get rid of black mold on concrete walls. The colloidal silver only had a slight affect, and the mold (a type of fungus) grew back in a few weeks. I then tried baking soda. Baking soda wiped it out completely, and it only reappeared several months later. I've tried various antifungals on exposed fungus in my skin, such as colloidal silver, baking soda, Pau D'Arco, and oregano oil. Only the latter three significantly dissolved the fungus. Pau D'Arco was the best, followed by oregano oil. Baking soda was only about half as good, and generated a lot of pain. Colloidal silver did (almost) nothing.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 i've wondered about that sometimes. but it would take a fair amount, and the fungicides that come in the paint are pretty effective these days. it helps some to retard spoilage of diluted wallpaper paste in partial 5gal buckets by just spraying it on the paste surface and exposed sides and lid. ________________________________ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Dan Nave Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 5:07 PM Subject: RE: [ ] Re: athlete's foot Bob, I remember reading on the silver_list that someone added CS to latex paint, and that seemed to work quite well to prevent mold from growing.
